At our state fair they have/had Deep Fried Butter! They basically take cubes from a stick of butter and roll it in breading/coating of some kind, then freeze it. Then they dump it in the deep fryer. Supposedly it is really good.

Check out Quesadilla Junction. Oliver Regal, owner, has an awesome product. His food stand at the Welcome to the Minnesota State Fair is located at the top of the hill next to the pet center.
I've had a chocolate/bacon candy bar that was surprisingly good.Quote:

And to report this on the last day of the fair? :confused:
I am going to Lori Chappell's office again to see if my request for an interview is still being considered.
I will be posting all of my state fair experience this Tuesday, August 24th through Wednesday, August 25th. I will be available in the chatroom during this posting session.
Fixed ;)Quote:

I caught my friend Leonard entertaining a few fair-goers. Leonard has watched the main traffic gate at the fair for over 15 years.

Meet Kelsey.
This is her third year working at the fair. She is a pharmacy student. Her main job this year was to assist in getting me refreshments for my snacks.

That was a huge brick-o-krispies! Kelsey said this was to show there was enough marshmallows in the brick.

This was actually sold outside the fairgrounds just across the street.

I actually finished both strips of chocolate covered bacon.

There are two things I would do different. One, use an enrobing chocolate. They used some kind of chocolate sauce. Two, I would use a better quality bacon. Theirs was not too bad, but it needed more smokiness and salt.
